Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy to Run for New York Governor as a Republican

Steve Levy, the Suffolk County executive and a popular
Democratic politician who last won re-election with 96
percent of the vote, will switch parties to run for New York
Governor as a Republican, a spokeswoman said.

His candidacy could touch off an intraparty battle with
former Representative Rick A. Lazio, a Republican who has

be likely to face a formidable Democratic opponent in
Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo.

  1. Levy is an excellent official - he runs the govt. as if it were his own bank account, so he DOESN'T WASTE A DIME! He reduces spending, by cutting out the waste/BS that so many politicians before him never attacked. Living in this mess we call NY right now needs to be cleaned up by someone with his record.
